In order to play on any of the fun difficulty levels you have to complete the entire game on normal (easy) once for EVERY character class. I was expecting all the online hassles, but I never thought they could screw up the difficulty so badly. It just about single-handedly ruins the game, it's not any fun this way.

It sounds like you don't know how those other modes work. They aren't just slightly harder game modes. The enemies on act 1 in nightmare aren't level 1 with a few extra hit points. The enemies you first run across in nightmare are somewhere around level 30 or 40. If you make a new character, it starts at level 1. If that character were to join a nightmare game, do you think it could stand up to those level 30 enemies?

I understand what you are wanting, but that simply isn't how the game works.
